Pink Giant Glory-of-the-Snow

Chionodoxa 'Pink Giant'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Bulb
Plant Family: Asparagaceae
Plant Description: An early spring bloomer that brings a welcome pop of color and beauty to any landscape at the end of a long winter. This bulb is so eager to flower that its pink, star-shaped blooms are sometimes caught peeking right out of the snow as early as March, providing a charming display until the plant goes dormant in late spring. This short bloom time makes it a special treat. Plant in drifts or allow to naturalize for maximum visual impact.
